Naive Atlantic Salmon Painting Folk Art In Hand Painted Frame By Matt Rix

This charming folk art painting by British artist Matt Rix depicts an Atlantic Salmon in a naive, nostalgic style that harks back to the traditional trophy paintings once commissioned by proud fishermen to commemorate their finest catches. Rendered in side profile, the salmon is painted in soft grey tones, featuring a striking yellow eye and distinctive markings that capture the character of this iconic fish. The background is a muted grey, allowing the subject to stand out with quiet dignity. Labelled simply "Atlantic Salmon" in hand-painted black lettering along the lower portion of the board, the work exudes an old-world charm. The painting is presented in a hand-painted brown wooden frame with a gilt inner edge that enhances its vintage appeal. The reverse of the frame is thoughtfully lined with antique papers, adding an extra touch of authenticity and detail. Ready to hang and enjoy, this piece is one of a pair currently on offer.
